TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION:


Office of the Comptroller of the Currency - Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI) Vendor Outreach Session - Successfully Navigating Alphabet Soup


PURPOSE:


The purpose of the data collection is to assess the effectiveness of the OCC’s OMWI technical assistance outreach. Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-203), the OCC is required to develop standards for coordinating technical assistance to minority- and women-owned businesses. This collection of information will seek routine customer feedback about the OCC’s OMWI outreach efforts.


The customer feedback survey will be conducted approximately one-week after the participants attend an OCC vendor outreach session. Participants who voluntarily respond to that request for customer feedback survey will be asked whether they would also take part in an additional customer feedback survey 6-month later that will solicit information on whether the vendor outreach session was effective in helping participants enter teaming arrangements.


DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS:


Businesses (also known as vendors) will attend a 3.5 hour workshop to learn about teaming arrangements and participate in a structured, business-to-business networking session to meet potential teaming partners. This event is intended to provide technical assistance for small businesses and women- and minority-owned businesses interested in beginning or increasing their contract opportunities with the federal government through teaming relationships.


There will be 100 businesses attending (mostly small business and/or minority- and women-owned businesses) who responded to a Federal Business Opportunities posting. All businesses that attend will receive the voluntary customer feedback request.
